February Is The Month Of Digital Book Sales, Apparently!

Well, hot dang.

I have written a lot of books.

And the majority of them are on sale this month in digital format.

Why? BECAUSE IT IS ALMOST VALENTINE’S DAY AND I LOVE YOU. AND IT’S TOTALLY NOT BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE IS IN CONTROL OF IT AND I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

*goes in for an awkward hug*

*is correctly Tasered*

*shakes it off*

So, what books are on sale, you might ask?

The first three Miriam Black books (where Miriam can solve murders before they happen because she can see how you’re going to die with but a touch) are all $2.99 at Amazon and B&N:

You could, if you really wanted, buy seven of my books right now for — *hurries to perform the execrable task of MATH* — $16.93.

(Heck, you could slather on The Blue Blazes, where Underworld mob enforcer Mookie Pearl is the thick meaty line separating the criminal Underworld from the ACTUAL HELL under Manhattan — $3.99 at Amazon and $2.99 direct. But hey, now I think I’m getting greedy.)

Anyway, if you care to spread the word, please do.

I think these sales are all month, though don’t quote me on that. I also don’t expect that they exist outside the US because that’s just how this shit goes, sometimes.

WOOT! Just snapped up two. Will grab more as I go. Love your writing style (both in your books and here on the blog). Let me know if you’re ever up Boston way. I’d love to shake your hand at one of those awesomely awkward Cons you wrote about. 🙂

My lunch hour turned into an hour and forty-five minutes thanks to The Cormorant and it is taking all of my remaining Good Work Ethic not to just say “fuck it” and keep reading till she’s done. You did it again you writer of burn-thru-’em-like-Eighies-cocaine page-turners, you. High five.
